All morning, Alice has worn an exuberant smile that only intensifies the closer the time comes to us attending the club. By five o'clock, she's bouncing off the walls. “You don't suppose it's too early to leave now, is it?” she asks the moment she emerges from the bathroom cloaked in a white towel. My gaze drifts from the TV towards her. “You'd better ask Angelo. Besides, he may have something to say about that outfit.” Then again, they are dating, he'd probably enjoy watching her waltz around in little more than a towel. “What are you wearing tonight?” I shrug my shoulders. “I haven't decided yet. What about you?” “Well, I thought I might inquire about that gorgeous green dress of yours.” My lips curve. “And you should wear your blue one.” …show more content…
The moment Angelo rescued me and brought me home, he portrayed such attentiveness to my needs, even in front of Alice. Though this may have been an act of friendship, it caused my love for him to grow, consequently, causing the ache in my fragile heart to deepen. Thought my life, I've only experienced one kind of love, the kind I share with Alice. Upon meeting Angelo, I've discovered something greater than my friendship towards Alice, something to commandeer my thoughts, my actions, and though I wish to express every emotion to him, I'm forced to lock my forbidden love away in a vault. Life has, yet again, played a cruel joke on me, dangling something so precious in front of me that I can never hope to have, and somehow, I must relinquish my love for Angelo, to abolish it, for he belongs to Alice, not me. Another half hour passes by before Alice emerges from her room, decked in her emerald-green dress, with her hair straightened and parted on the left, cascading around her shoulders. With glittering shades of silver, she accentuates the sea-green of her eyes, making them appear evermore alluring than usual while applying a soft pink gloss to her lips. “How do I look?” she asks, performing a twirl to allow her long hair to fan …show more content…
“No, why would you ask?” I lower my gaze to my hands that found each other and commence intertwining my fingers. Ordinarily, my hand would flutter to my mouth for me to chew on my nails, but Alice would berate me for my disgusting habit. The moment she sits beside me, she gathers my hands within hers. “No, you're not evil.” With my head remaining low, I glance sideways at her. “Why did they abuse me if I'm not evil?” “Babe, they're the evil ones, not you.” “Why did John try to—” My eyes slide closed, whereupon she releases my hands only to envelope me in her arms. Her sweet perfume imbues my nostrils as I rest my head on her shoulder. “Neither of us can understand why they chose to torture you, we'd need to be as sick as they are first. So that alone proves you're not evil. As for John, we can place him in the same category as them, Patsy too, because she lied to us about him.” “What if she doesn't know his true colours?” She scoffs. “They've been friends their entire lives like us. Of course, she knows. Have either of them tried to contact you?” “No, only John yesterday.” “We should block their numbers just in case.” I nod my head. “Do you believe I'll ever find love like you
“How am I supposed to know who I had got hitched to, let alone who was dumb enough to pick you two.”
Her mother had died after being hit by a reckless driver. Alice, a fifteen-year old, African-American girl, was now without her natural and most influential guide on how to cope with the powerful transition from girl to lady.
Ben takes advantage of this, knowing how much John trusts him. "I don't think there's much chance of that. I don't think I've ever seen a girl so keen.
...a bead of blood off her finger with my kerchief. “Is it better?” I ask.

However, like in any friendships or relationships there will be times when you dont see eye to eye. I guess this was one of those times.
He ran his soft hands over my lower back and moved them down to caress my legs, this sending movement through my upper calves. Being so close to him was ticklish, yet pleasurable… Evolving me to wince at every touch. The pleasurable side almost always overcomes the tingling ticklish side of being in the arms of someone I cared about so much. Just the thought of him- the way his smile lit up his whole face, and how he only smiled that way around me. We spent a lot of time squandering about, but every moment afterwards left you wanting more. When I wasn’t with him, my mind traveled to him. The thought of being surprised that his feelings were mutual had always stuck out. All of his charisma, and quirkiness piled together to make him. Being himself,

In the poem “Alice” by Shel Silverstein, many interpretations can be made about how to be different than other people. To begin the author uses a hyperbole, when he states “and she grew so tall\ down she shrank so small” (Silverstein 2.) The author might have used these to give a sense of risk-taking in the text to show that she actually was gargantuan after she drank the drink called drink me, then shrank down after she ate from the plate called taste me. And at the end of the poem, Shel wrote “ and so she changed, while other folks tried nothin’ at all” (Silverstein 5-6.) This could be implied to our theme; Do lots in your life and take lots of risks, because it's better to do something than nothing at all.

The Role of Rational Thinking in Alice’s Identity Crisis. Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland follows the story of a young Alice trapped in the world of Wonderland after falling down through a rabbit hole. The rabbit-hole, which is filled with bookshelves, maps, and other objects, foreshadows the set of rules, the ones Alice is normally accustomed to, that will be defied in Wonderland.

And I have her wrapped around my little finger. “Oh Daisy, my darling Daisy”, I say to her with my arms open waiting for her to fall in to my embrace. She rests her head on to my shoulder as I pull her tighter against my body. Daisy’s soft blonde hair sweeps against my cheek.
"Don't let that come between you two though. When he comes back and asks for your number, you be sure to give it to him." Again, I rolled my eyes. Iris and her daydreams.
